Famous Actresses From Texas

Many people think of Texas as a rich state where many famous people originate. What we know most recently about Texas, is that is where our last president, George W. Bush came from, and now presently resides. What some of us don't realize is, Texas is very well represented in the movie and television industry.

Let's focus on some of the actresses that hail from Texas. One that we all should know quite well is Carol Burnett. We know her best as a comedian, but she also has done acting, singing and dancing. Then there is Farrah Fawcett. She played in "Charlies Angels" and became well known for her hair and her swimsuit posters. Barbara Mandrell is known for her singing of country music. Of course most everyone has heard of Anna Nicole Smith, playboy bunny and model. One actress that the older crowd might recognize is Lauren Bacall, a model, film and stage actress; she was also known for her husky voice. How about Jaclyn Smith, another "Charlies Angels" actress, and now a well known name in the fashion industry, especially for K-Mart. One famous lady we should all know is Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. She may not have been an actress, but we all know her as the wife of a president and a woman who was loved by most everyone.

There are so many actresses from Texas, it would take a lot of space to write about all of them. Some are well known and others we know the name, but can't quite remember the face. The Internet is a great place to learn about the actresses you like. It's fun and interesting to read their biographies and learn more about their real lives.
